Iresine rhizomatosa
Overview
Bloodleaf (Iresine rhizomatosa) is a vivacious flowering plant characterized by its raguleted foliage. The perennial has velvety, crimson leaves with hues ranging from dull pink to vibrant magenta, appearing almost like veins of blood running through the greenery. Growing up to three feet tall and wide, bloodleaf is drought tolerant and thrives in full and partial sunlight. However, avoid overwatering to prevent waterlogging and root rot. Propagate from stem cuttings to maintain its unique and eye-catching hue.
